5.5 Aerial mapping of visible floating oil 



An aerial overflight was made on 11/1/77 by Dr. James Mattson, and 

 the visible extent of surface oil was documented by photography using a 

 Nikon 35 mm camera equipped with a time-recording data bank. The flight 

 path and extent of surface oil are shown on Fig. 5.5.1. Some of the 

 photographs appear in Appendix 2.
